Ethical Question

People that are overly politically correct need to be taken out back and shot. Well, maybe not shot, but smacked upside the head instead, cause murder is kinda bad. There is too great a trend to sterilize everything so that no one could possibly be offended nowadays. It is sickening.

Well, I would go further and say not only is "murder kinda bad", it is bad.

Smacking a person in the head is another form of violence which I disagree with.

How about sterilizing the idiots?

I like the Darwin Awards... (www.darwinawards.com)
(do a search for "Jewish Mean Time")

being offensive != offending someone.
being offensive != artistic.

1 cent per advice

R D, I know the feeling. I had written a chapter a couple of weeks before the Shuttle went down about the Pandoran's loosing their first manned space ship. I help off on posting the story because it would appear in appropriate.

In your case, it is not. The game of SEIV is much the same as it is in real life war. People and place often fall under attack. So I say post it. This is not a ethical violation, it is just good story telling. (Unless the city name that your fighters are attacking is Baghdad.)

Well i had to ask, in real life i'm not too politically correct so the Last thing i want when i post is all the egos (not saying whom!) on the forum hijacking the fanfiction thread and making it become some huge disscussion about political correctness, that would just get annoying!

So hopefully it will be out in the next few weeks

Oh man, that Smurfette must be hot!!! She keeps them all happy.

Maybe we should start a poll:
Pick One:

a). Smurfette
b). Wilma Flintstone
c). Betty Rubble
d). Mr. limp wrist

You forgot the Ginger and Maryann debate. My vote's for Maryann.

I'm also against policital correctness. Although I'm not a violent person myself, I think the people who practice PC should be taken out to the woodshed and be taught a lesson or two. They seem so intent on being PC, they forgot common sense. And don't get me started on the peaceniks like Susan Sarandon and Martin Sheen.
